Jonah Hex: No Way Back #[nn]

DC's scarred bounty hunter stares out from Tony DeZuniga's sepia-toned cover art with a pair of crossed revolvers and the kind of weathered intensity that defines the character — all dusty hat brim and hard-set jaw. Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, reunited here with DeZuniga, deliver a complete original story under the "No Way Back" banner, making this 2011 original graphic novel a satisfying standalone for both longtime Hex fans and newcomers to the frontier. At $14.99, it's a well-packaged piece of DC's Western catalog, rendered throughout by DeZuniga with the gritty authenticity the title demands.
